Day 75

Happy Halloween!!

Being in Massachusetts for this Pagan holiday, some of my housemates, their friends, and I took the opportunity to go to one of the places in this state that would obviously make you think of Halloween: Salem.  I had high expectations.  Being from North Carolina, I had some pretty big Halloween parties to compare this to.  There's the first thing that comes to and North Carolinian when you think of Halloween: Franklin Street.  Total insanity.  Hopefully one day they'll change their minds about only letting UNC students and CH residents into the festivities.  The second thing that I think of from NC is the Haunted Hillsborough Hike.  While I haven't been able to totally participate in one before (after all it is a bar hike), I have gone and just skipped the drinking part.  It isn't Franklin Street but it can get pretty crazy. And pretty fun.

So here's some pictures of Salem, MA on Halloween:

This is just a quick shot of a concert going on and people.  Nothing crazy.

A dancing taco in the window.

Nice Grimm Reaper costume.

Salem Witch Museum.

The Lumberjacks of 46 Ashford got free cotton candy.

Two trees filled with more birdhouses than I think even my dad could handle.

The end.  Not quite as crazy as I thought it was going to be.  Then again there aren't all of the bars that there on on Franklin and Hillsborough.
